I think I'll stop stoking the fires til I clear off the work on my plate, which includes: * Make a new branch to I can create a new series of commits cleanly * The code cleanups Father C posted. * Remove the @_ ban (I'll commit it and immediately revert it in the new branch, so it can be easily added back) *** In the commit adding it, I'll ban goto from a sub with a signature, so there'll be record of that. ** Strict parameter count checking*. sub foo($bar) requires exactly one parameter. sub foo(@bar) or sub foo(%bar) requires 0 or more, and will die/croak otherwise * Make goto &foo work * Make the signature parameter in the padlist an AV* instead of an int (mainly future proofing) * Rename the proto attribute to prototype (Father C prefers prototype, and I don't recall anyone else having a preference one way or another) * attributes.pm/xs should be aware of the prototype attribute (but I think it should only be aware of it enough to say use : prototype() directly) * Handle * Change the name of the feature to just 'signatures' (but flagged as experimental) * Make sure all tests pass at each commitThread Next
